Chapter 150: Twin Flowers (73)
There is no obstruction when going.
Want to go back? Either leave money for passage or half of the gems. If you have a woman with you, you can't leave.
Unless you spend a lot of money to build connections, people will still know the difference between a steady flow of food and a one-time meal.
Yun Tinglan did not act recklessly. Although she was not clear about the specific situation, the general environment here was there. She also attached great importance to her own safety, so she came to Song Jinhan to borrow people.
She cursed again the guidance system that sealed her space. Otherwise, with Ling Xi being able to defeat ten people at once, her movements wouldn't be so restricted.
At the same time, he decided to ask Song Jinhan for help after returning to China, to complete the missing parts and then make a mechanical body for Lingxi.
Song Jinhan was in a meeting and couldn't get away, so he asked Lao Qiao to bring a dozen people with him.
Those people knew Lao Qiao's car. The people above had specially greeted him, and they also knew that he was a tough guy, so no one was ignorant enough to come out and rob him.
When the car was halfway through the journey, Lao Qiao suddenly slowed down the car. He operated the drone to explore the road ahead and checked it at a low altitude.
As expected, the problem was discovered: a section of the road was covered with nails. Looking at the long nails that were rusted and deformed, Yun Tinglan guessed that they were all reused by old employees.
Old Joe cursed and asked someone to clean up the mess. "They are so poor that they are crazy and do such wicked things!"
Less than fifty meters ahead, there is an old yellowed sign with crooked large Chinese characters written on it - Change tire, the price is quite attractive!
This is deliberately targeted, and it is obvious that the Chinese are being treated as leeks.
At this moment, a head was sticking out of the window and looking at them. He was a little surprised to see that their car was intact, but it was obvious that Old Joe and the others were not good people.
The man drew his head back into the cabin again.
Mogu Valley is at a high altitude, with a pleasant climate, warm in winter and cool in summer, and a large temperature difference between morning and evening. Generally speaking, the climate is similar to that of Kunming City in Yunnan Province.
Before 1918, foreigners were not allowed to enter or leave Mogok. Currently, the local buildings are still well preserved. Because it was once colonized by Country Y for a long time, most of the buildings are Western-style.
Mogok City is composed of two small towns, Mogok and Jabin. They were going to Mogok Town, which is divided into two cities, Front Mogok and Back Mogok.
Its core area is an artificial lake, which was dug when Country Y colonized Myanmar in the 18th century. The gemstones inlaid on Queen Y's crown and scepter were all produced here. They were once considered the world's top rubies until they were confirmed to be spinels in modern times.
What they were going to was the gem market next to the artificial lake, which was a government-run market and was actually just a large iron shed.
Although this place looks simple and drafty, with only tables and chairs for sellers to set up stalls, most of the world's gems are traded from here.
The red-roofed iron shed is not long but wide enough, and thousands of people are crowded here to trade.
Everyone spoke non-standard Chinese, Burmese, Y and other languages, and the noise gave off the feel of an international trading market.
Lao Qiao and the others were waiting in the car, only Xiao Duan followed them in.
As soon as Yun Tinglan entered, people came over to show her the goods. She waved her hand and wanted to take a look around first to see if there were any sapphires worth buying.
The gems here are dazzling and dazzling, covering all types of gems produced in Mogao Valley.
In front of the jewelry vendors, there are piles of gems of various colors that are dazzling to look at. There are raw stones, cut and polished loose stones, and of course there are also artificial fakes.
Gems of average quality are traded directly in whole packages, while slightly better ones are placed in flat brass plates to better reflect the brilliance of the gems and then traded individually.
She saw two good quality sapphires in front of a beautiful woman’s stall. Each was about two carats, with good cut, color and clarity. Most importantly, there were no cracks, and they were a pair.
The price of such sapphires is actually a bit higher than that of a single one, because it is not easy to match them into pairs.
The price the beautiful boss asked for was not pleasant at all, it was 35 million Myanmar Kyats at the very beginning. After bargaining for half an hour, the beautiful woman obviously had a lot of free time, so she bargained to the limit!
In the end, it was bought for 15 million.
Of course, the prerequisite is that Yun Tinglan spent another 1.5 million to buy a bag of broken sapphires of different sizes, which would be just right for inlaying and would not be considered a waste.
Yun Tinglan nodded in agreement.
She also bought a box of colorful and neatly shaped spinels. The owner thoughtfully arranged them in rows to form a rainbow bridge, which was pleasing to the eye.
She plans to use it to make a batch of rainbow bracelets, which will definitely look great.
There were about three hundred of them, and when the price reached twenty-eight million, the stall owner became impatient, and Yun Tinglan added another one million Myanmar Kyats before the deal was done.
After a round of searching, there wasn’t a single collection-level sapphire left. Some had too many cracks or too many inclusions, but most were too small.
She sighed inwardly, as expected, to see such top-quality sapphires one needs connections.
She had to lower her standards and chose a box of sapphires of about one carat. Xiao Duan's basket was empty, so Yun Tinglan and Sister Zhou found a corner to rest and wait for Xiao Duan to get the money from the car.
Five or six hands reached out in an instant.
Yun Tinglan: “…”
She saw a star sapphire with six lines under the light. It was very beautiful, with good clarity, color and shape. But the price was not attractive. The starting price was 40 million.
3.5 carats, this price is really not cheap.
Yun Tinglan wanted it but the price was not right, so she waited for Xiao Duan to come back and ask him to bargain. Yun Tinglan asked the owner to wait in broken Burmese and took another bag of sapphires, no, tanzanites.
The olive-shaped cut is rare, but very beautiful, and it is lavender in color. Yun Tinglan likes it very much, but the price has to be pushed down because the purple tone is too obvious in transactions, which is a demerit. Not everyone likes this tone.
Moreover, they were very small and could only be used as inlays and not as main stones. She could only give 50 Myanmar Kyats for a pack. Seeing that Yun Tinglan was really unwilling to increase the price, the owner still sold them.
At this time, Xiao Duan also came back with the money. He finally squeezed in. He touched the sweat on his forehead and screamed in his heart, this is too crazy.
Yuntinglan then acquired a lot of sapphires of other colors. In gemology, corundum gems other than rubies are collectively called sapphires, or colored sapphires.
Suddenly, a bag of very rich sapphires was handed to her and she poured out a few to examine them.
The color is beautiful, the clarity is good, and there are no cracks.
The price offered by the owner was also reasonable. There were fifteen pearls in this bag, each weighing about three carats, and the asking price was only 120 million.
Yun Tinglan was about to bargain when Ling Xi suddenly said, "It's fake, a sandwich stone. The top pavilion is real sapphire, and the bottom is fake artificial synthetic sapphire." Yun Tinglan looked closely at their waists against the light again. The colors of the top and bottom were indeed different, and the luster and inclusions were also different.
Yun Tinglan took a deep look at the old lady. She looked kind and benevolent, so why was she so deceiving?
Without any further ado, he just shook his head and refused, returning the item to the old lady.
Yun Tinglan received another box of aquamarine. The light color like sea water makes people feel refreshed and cool as if they are in the sea water in the hot summer, which can relieve the heat and relax the whole body.
She looked here for more than an hour, but there was not a single high-quality piece. All were of ordinary quality. She picked and chose and barely collected some loose stones to take back to make jewelry.
I have seen how deep the water is in the jewelry industry. There are endless ways of counterfeiting, such as mixing inferior goods with good ones. It really depends on your eyesight and ability to make a living.
There were really no other gems that were worth looking at, so Yun Tinglan didn't waste time here. Everyone should be hungry at this time.
So he took Sister Zhou and Xiao Duan to meet up with Lao Qiao and the others, and prepared to find a place to eat.
Yun Tinglan feels that the Burmese pizza is more like a Burmese-style egg pancake, and the taste should be okay. Anyway, it was such a hot day and there were a lot of people surrounding the fat aunt’s stall.
Xiao Duan waited in line for more than ten minutes before it was his turn. Then he had to wait for the aunt to sell enough food, which took another half an hour.
Yun Tinglan and her friends were already in a small restaurant not far away, eating rice noodles with fish soup. The thin rice noodles and banana hearts were soaked in the fish soup and tasted pretty good.
There were so many of them that they almost occupied the entire store.
Maybe Old Joe and his friends looked too tough and tough, and it was obvious at first glance that they were not good people. One table of diners left in a hurry without finishing their meal.
A bowl of rice noodles per person is the basic requirement, and we also ordered a lot of meat skewers. The small Burmese meat skewers are really comparable to the toothpick meat in southern China, and they are very small!
But the price is cheap, and it tastes different when eaten with sauce.
Mogok steamed black fungus, green vegetables, and sour meat rice balls are eaten together. If you can eat sour food, you can squeeze lemon juice and pour it on the rice.
There were so many of them and everyone had a big appetite that they bought all the food in the shop. So Yun Tinglan and her friends bought desserts from the shop next door and brought them over to eat. The owner didn't get angry and happily gave them some tamarind juice.
Yun Tinglan’s favorite is banana rice dumplings and coconut shreds. They are sweet and not greasy, and the sticky texture goes well with coconut shreds.
While he was eating, a shadow fell over his head.
Sister Zhou made way for her with her bowl in hand.
What happened? Yun Tinglan looked up, her eyes turning from bewilderment to astonishment. Song Jinhan? Why is he here?
"Have you had your meal?" Yun Tinglan greeted him by quickly swallowing the coconut cake in her mouth. However, it was a bit sticky to her teeth and she couldn't swallow it just because she wanted to. Her speech was a bit unclear for a moment.
But at this point, it was obvious that he hadn't eaten, so Yun Tinglan pushed the mixed yellow rice in front of her in front of him and asked with her eyes if he wanted to try it.
She was quite curious about why this person came here. Wasn’t he busy?
Of course, she also felt a little guilty. She was clearly the beneficiary of the gem mine, but the one who was running around was Song Jinhan. After reflecting on it, she felt that she had gone too far.
She helped him mix the rice attentively: "Don't think it's quite... not high-end, but it tastes okay. Why don't you try the one you just bought?"
Song Jinhan frowned slightly and stared at the mixed yellow rice with a bitter and resentful look. If it were him, he would definitely not touch such food. He glanced at the surroundings and sat down.
"Why don't you try their beef dumplings? They taste pretty good to me. Ask them not to add any spice. I'll also give you a portion of steamed vegetables with rice noodles. These are light."
The person in front of me had a beautiful smile and lively eyes, with a bit of being reluctant to leave and being heartless. He was no longer as avoidable as before, but more intimate and familiar.
Song Jinhan was very glad that he came on his own and there were no wrong starts, so he could look forward to the right ending.
His eyelashes drooped, hiding the slight tenderness in his eyes, "You arrange it."
There were coconut jelly, egg pudding, colorful coconut balls in front of Yun Tinglan, and a lot of crushed ice on the fresh coconut shreds on top of the polo.
Song Jinhan brought the Pao Lu Da to himself and said, "This is cold, don't eat it these days."
Yun Tinglan licked her lips, thinking that it would be no problem to eat a bowl of soup on such a hot day since all her relatives had left. Otherwise, she could just wait a little longer until it was no longer cold before eating it.
Song Jinhan had already picked up the spoon and started eating. It was too sweet. His eyebrows were knitted together, but he did not forget to explain to her: "Don't waste it."
It was finished in just a few bites.
Yun Tinglan: “……!!!”
No, that's what she ate!
